Very nice, Sophie. Photos can never do justice to the actual scenes. If you like this sort of thing you can see similar landscapes all over America, Africa, Asia and Australia.

I don't see anything visually appealing about the desert landscape. The only word that describes the desert is hot hot hot.

I think Sedona, Arizona, has some of the most beautiful desert scenery in the whole world. And--contrary to the choices in the poll--it's far more than just cactus.

There's room to turn around, to sit and meditate, in a hardwood forest. It has a transcendent glow of light during the spring and fall that is absent from conifers and jungles.
